Court Magi are elite spellcasters, chosen from noble elven bloodlines to wield devastating Elemental Arcana with unmatched precision. They command the raw fury of magic through ancient Grimoires, unleashing destructive spells that can level battlefields. While their power is overwhelming, they are fragile and rely on careful positioning and party support to avoid ruin.
The Order of the Court Magi was formed after the Hollowing, when the elven monarchy sought to preserve what remained of their magical heritage. Drawing exclusively from noble families, the Court Magi were charged with protecting elven lands and traditions through mastery of Arcana’s most destructive forms. Over generations, this role became both a symbol of power and a heavy burden, as each Magus carries the weight of centuries of expectation.
To outsiders, Court Magi are seen as symbols of elven superiority — respected for their might, yet often distrusted for their rigid adherence to tradition. Within their own society, they are revered by some and resented by others, viewed as guardians of culture or relics unwilling to change with the world.
Court Magi serve as war-mages, royal advisors, and custodians of Arcane law. Their presence on the battlefield is as much a political statement as a tactical advantage, reminding all who witness their power of the enduring strength of elven magic.
Court Magi build up Arcane Charge with each Elemental spell they cast, increasing the power of their next attack. The more charge they hold, the stronger their magic becomes — but this power comes with risk. If struck by an enemy while holding charge, it short circuits and damages them and they lose all of their Charges. This system creates high-stakes moments where players must balance aggression with caution, relying on allies for protection while preparing to unleash devastating spells at the perfect time.
